Meeting Schedule Assistant 23.0.7 is now available

I am pleased to announce that there is a new version of Meeting Schedule Assistant now available.

What’s New

Some improvements have been made to the Meeting Editor.

Foreign-Language Group

A pop-up window is now displayed when you try to change the Foreign-Language Group setting:

Sometimes this setting has been changed in error by users and has caused confusion with application behaviour. Hopefully this new pop-up reminder will go some way to preventing this issue.

• Workbook-S-140-Weekend Meeting Only v2

Template Changes

Are you using a customized version of one of these Workbook templates? And, would like to know what changes have been made to display the Prayer assignments? The required changes differ from template to template.

These templates include Song information:

• Workbook-S-140-PublicTalk-WatchtowerStudy-ServiceTalk-Songs
• Workbook-S-140-Weekend Meeting Only v2

Changes were made to this part of the template (line numbers are indicative only):

<xsl:template match="SongOpen | SongMiddle | SongEnd" mode="Weekend">
    <tr>
        <td class="cellTime">
            <xsl:value-of select="@EndTime24"/>
        </td>
        <td style="padding-left: 3mm">
            <xsl:if test="self::SongMiddle">
                <xsl:attribute name="colspan">2</xsl:attribute>
            </xsl:if>
            <span class="textSongLabel">
                <xsl:value-of select="//Labels/Song"/>
            </span>
            <span class="textSongNumber">
                <xsl:value-of select="."/>
            </span>
            <span class="textSongTitle">
                <xsl:value-of select="@Title"/>
            </span>
            <xsl:if test="self::SongOpen or self::SongEnd">
                <div class="floatRight">
                    <xsl:value-of select="//Labels/Prayer"/>
                </div>
            </xsl:if>
        </td>
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="self::SongOpen">
                <td class="cellName">
                    <xsl:value-of select="../../Assignments/PrayerOpen"/>
                </td>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:when test="self::SongEnd">
                <td class="cellName">
                    <xsl:value-of select="../../Assignments/PrayerClose"/>
                </td>
            </xsl:when>
        </xsl:choose>
    </tr>
</xsl:template>

These templates don’t include Song information:

• Workbook-S-140-PublicTalk-WatchtowerStudy-ServiceTalk
• Workbook-S-140-PublicTalk-WatchtowerStudy-ServiceTalk-Videoconference
• Workbook-S-140-Weekend Meeting Only

More changes had to be made to these templates. Again treat line numbers as indicative only.

Add the following two lines of code to display the Prayer assignment:

<xsl:call-template name="WeekendVideoConferenceInfo"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Assignments/PrayerOpen" mode="WeekendMeeting"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="HomeTalk"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="AwayTalk"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Assignments"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Assignments/PrayerClose" mode="WeekendMeeting"/>

Finally, add this new block of code that does the hard work:

<!--Displays the Prayer assignments-->
<xsl:template match="PrayerOpen | PrayerClose" mode="WeekendMeeting">
    <tr>
        <td class="cellTime">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="self::PrayerOpen">
                    <xsl:value-of select="../../SongInfo/SongOpen/@EndTime24"/>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:when test="self::PrayerClose">
                    <xsl:value-of select="../../SongInfo/SongEnd/@EndTime24"/>
                </xsl:when>
            </xsl:choose>
        </td>
        <td class="cellPosition">
            <xsl:value-of select="//Labels/Prayer"/>
        </td>
        <td class="cellName">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="@Duplicate=1">
                    <span class="textDuplicate">
                        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                    </span>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </td>
    </tr>
</xsl:template>
